  1. Found Melrose kirk session minutes at ScotlandsPeople include lists of schoolmasters 1768-1854 parish by parish in Presbytery of Chirnside. Whole bunch of Berwickshire places! Melrose isn't even in Berwickshire 😜 Likely paper records muddling in Scottish Record Office / National Records of Scotland. #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #School #Schools #History #ScottishHistory #NationalRecordsOfScotland #ScotlandsPeople #Archive #Archives #HistoricalResearch #Berwickshire #Melrose #Roxburghshire #Scotland

  3. An old blog post, but a good one, here’s what I wrote about one of my favourite characters from Melrose in the past, the 17th century regality court clerk Thomas Wilkieson. He was involved with this local court at a turbulent time in its history. one-place-studies.org/w-is-for

  4. Continuing our watch of the Gaelic programme walking from Melrose to Lindisfarne. We recorded it and are slowly getting through it. Onto episode 3 which goes from Monteviot to Kirk Yetholm. So getting into my granny’s home country. The iPlayer version of this episode is only online until Monday evening coming. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001
